it pointed quickly at the exit, then get on the throttle to get the
exhaust gasses blowing to create more downforce and grip.

Since the blown diffusers are banned in 2014, that trick no longer works and
Vettel has to change his driving style.

That and other insights here -

Yes Gary I saw that, it was a very intersting observation.
Looks like it could be an interesting race, wit Alonso getting the fastest lap in second practice, but that was on a partially wet track and not a great deal of laps were done.
See what tomorrow brings on a dry track.
Cheers
